Art Pepper - True Blues

Aw hell yeah! this was like the holy grail for me. I searched long and hard for this record. Scored over the holiday season!!
One of a pair of lps released with Micho Leviev as the leader. The other lp was reissued in the "Laurie Pepper presents" series as "Live at Tony Scott's" but the original title is something about Fisherman's Blues but I can't seem to find the damn thing right now.
I paid far too much for this record so dig it cats, you won't see it around much.

Thank you, thank you, can never have enough Art Pepper in my collection! I read that the Pepper-Leviev collaboration, although one of the most productive and creative of Art's career, was a real love-hate relation, in which Art's exasperation with his pianist still drove him to unimagined heights of invention. What an amazing artist was Art!

Thanks for this gem and check out Label: Mole Jazz [MOLE 1 PLUS] 1985Reissued CD with one from "True Blues" and "Blues For The Fisherman" Lp's on it... it is also The Milcho Leviev Quartet comp. oldhippierick

The Facts

Essentially these posts are records taken from my own personal collection. The contributions are clearly marked.For the most part everything is taken directly from vinyl, and is mp3 320 format. These recordings are not run through a computer or any other editing software. You are hearing what I hear as I sit in my living room sipping a cool bourbon. This is the raw product and oftentimes it has seen better days. But these lps have found a loving home in their old age. I hope you enjoy them as much as me.I'm not here as an expert, just a fan. It's all about the joy music instills.
